It may be the place to be for geese and ducks, but I like it a little warmer before I get in the water.
Thanks for the comments, friends. Happy New Year to all.

The geese don't look all that cold to me, in fact they look pretty comfortable. I dont think I'll be getting in the water either. Great photo, Thanks.

Nice wildlife shot here. There is quite a variety of ducks floating around having a great time and glad to find open water. Very clear image.

Jimbob, in my country we have an old (and perhaps strange) habbit: at New Year's Day some people are going to the beach and make a brief swim in the cold North Sea (Winter swim on New Year's Day, locally known as New Year's dive). Once back on the beach they are treated to a glass of gin by people who aren't that 'brave'.
As you are talking in your narrative about getting in the water, maybe it's a good to introduce this habbit in the place where you are living. The only difference is, that there will be no people treating you to gin after doing this brave job, lol
Fine post my friend!
Happy New Year!
Regards, Cornelius.

Cornelius was here either to enjoy your image or say 'thank you' for your interest in my gallery. In the first case, please CLICK HERE to see my work!
It does look like the place to be also for humans in the summer Jimbob. The ducks and geese seem to be freezing their - off in the icy water! A fine image, my friend!

It is known that there is an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them to be in. However, not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely the product of a deranged imagination.
Such beautiful clarity Jimbob! What a wonderful shot~look at all those geese...brrrr! Congrats to the Buckeye's! Rose Bowl Champs! YAY! :)Ami

I don't think I'll join the geese either, but they sure do seem to be enjoying their winter swim. Nicely captured Jim ... I like how dark blue the water appears.

So many pics and so little time can mean just one thing - it must be - tee time
I agree with Cornelius .. Jump in and test the waters ... (This is coming from someone living in Florida.. LOL) Beautiful winter shot JimboB ... Looks like one of the 1000 piece puzzles that my wife works on from time to time ...
